This juvenile corkwing wrasse, Crenilabrus melops, or Symphodus (Crenilabrus) melops, was caught with a dip net in a tuft of serrated wrack, Fucus serratus, which was growing out of the sandy bottomed channel leading to the Queen Elizabeth II marina, St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey, Channel Islands, Great Britain.  Many of the juvenile wrasse in this channel were parasitised by Anilocra sp. isopod crustaceans.  These isopods dig into the skin of the fish behind and above the eye on one side of the head.  This individual was returned to the QE II marina channel after photography.  Collected and photographed on the 29 September 2007.
